Obituary..

Mr.. r. H. Hoffman, of Harmon
ton, New Jersey, died 10 Kevser last
week, at the home of his father. Rev.
Henry Hoffman. Mr.. Hoffman came
to Deer Park when quite a young
man, and was for several years in
charge of Davis & Bros. store here,
and also at Davis mills before the
store was moved into Deer Park. He
married in 1876 the youngest daugh-
ter of Col. E. G. Tillson, of this place,
and removed to Philadelphia. He
was for eight years in that city-most
of the time in John Wanamaker's
immense establishment, as his chief
business manager. His health failed
three years ago, and by his physi-
clans advice he moved on farm in
New Jersey, where he improved for
a time. He made friends and an
enviable name for himself wherever
he was known, for his energy, enter
prising spirit, and particularly for
his thoroughly consistent Christian
character. He leaves wife and four
little children, who have the heart
felt sympathy of all our citizens.

statements Saturday from ex.Gover-
nor Whyte for Davis and others. and
John X. Cowen and HI. Irvine Cross

Company, as to the amount the Bal

withhold from the $4,000 judgment
of Brydon against that company to
idemnify it from loss by reason of
the nineteen attachments laid in its
hands against the fund here and in
West Virginia.
The court concluded that $4,000
would be ample to protect the rail-

terest to date amounted to $50. $50. an
order was signed directing the Balti-
more and Ohio company to pay at
once $50, 1850 to the clerk of the court

OUR REMOVAL.
Look Out for Low Prices !

Having completed our new store
room on Alder street, next door to
the post Office, it affords US great
pleasure to notify you that owing to
our rapidly increasing trade we found
it necessary to remove from the cor
ner of Oak and Third streets 10 Alder
street into our new building where
we will now be prepared with our
commOdious premises and better IA
cilities to carry more desirable stock
of goods. We propose to do business
on business principles. We have dis
posed of the great expense which we
have been labOring under, it there
fore enables Gus to sell goods much
lower and at prices that cannot be
undersold. We are located in the
most convenient business part of the
town, which will enable you to do
your shopping at more convenient
place than any other in the town.
We will not take the pains to quote
prices IN this column, but call and see
us and we will cheerfully give you
the lowest prices which will be more
satisfactory to you and also to US.
We have taken an inventory of our
stock while moving and we are much
pleased with the success during the
last season at our old stand.
We desire to thank you very cor
daily for the patronage you have
heretofore bestowed upon us which
it will be our aim to retain and in
crease by our fair and faithful deal
ings and by strict application to bus
mess, which has always characterized
our dealings with you, and to which
we ascribe our success. We are also
going to increase our stock of goods
and keep a first class stock, such as
will please the eyes of every one and
at prices that are in the reach of all.
Soliciting your future favor, we re.
main,
Yours, very truly,

the number of hotels and boarding

is rare chance for investment. Our

serious consideration.

A Bad Religion.

The religion of Don't know" is
very poor article for any man to keep
on hand. Is there a personal God ?
II don't know" If there be such
God, what are his attributes and re-
lation to men? 81 don't know"
Has man a soul distinct from the
body that dies? II don't know"
If he has soul, will that soul sur
vive the event of death and live for
ever? 81 don't know" Is there a
heaven and a hell ? II don't know"
Is the Bible true? 81 don't know"
Was there a Jesus Christ who came
into this world to save sinners? II
don't know" Did Christ rise from
the dead and ascend into heaven.
and does he now exist there as the
high priest of the Christian profess
sion? II don't know" The man
who thus answers these and similar
questions, and thus disposes of them
all, would do we'll to see where he
stands. He declares his own ignor-
ance upon the most important ques-
tions that can be asked or answered.
No others are or can be to him of so
much importance; and yet he dis.
misses them all at sight by simply
saying II don't know" This is one
saying which he filings at every relig-
ious truth, and with which he seeks
to relieve himself from its pressure.
We more than suspect that he does
not want to know. He prefers the
religion of 81 don't know" rather
that that of 81 do know" When he
comes to die he will, if he has his
reason in that solemn moment, want
to know something, or believe some
thing, which contains the solution of
what death Is and Is to be to him. He
will find it difficult task to get out
of this worlb on the naked theory of
81 don't know" He is, after all. a
man, and has locked up in his nature
the wants that are common to men.

"For We serve the Lord Christ"
"Slaves abounded in the early his
tory of the Christian Church ; indeed
very large percentage of the popu-
lation were in some way subject to
higher authorities. so it was a very
we'll known subject to them, that of
slavery. No change on this subject
had been positively made by Christ
and his apostles. So at the begin
ming of our late struggle no text
could be found explicit on this ques-
ton, yet the teachings of Christ were
sufficiently plain to be easily under
stood. And the same could be found
in the writings of st. Paul, where we
were to serve with singleness of heart
as unto the Lord and not unto man,
as the reward was to come from
above and not from beneath for every
service however mental. Whatever
our station we must show our I'm"
fiinching fidelity to duty, In the

we should have the consciousness
that it is service to God more than
to man. Our duties should NOT be
looked upon as fate or drudge. 1t

of social life whatever the calling, if

dependent, yet we are to be depend

this is to prepare us for higher and
nobler state in the life to come. l do
not endeavor to describe that place
of bliss. but all the beautiful symbols
are to represent far more grand and

At the Theatre.

The excellent company supporting the
bright little commedienne, Miss Eurice
Goodrich, gave a highly creditable pros
ductinn of "Rosedale" at Harper's thea-
ire last evening. The play is different
from any of the other pieces in Miss
Goodrich's repertoire, es it contains q
deep plot, which is well sustained by this
company. Miss Goodrich was graceful
and bewitching in the comedy role. Mr.
James R. Mccain was splendid as Fl,
lott Gray, displaying great ability as an
actor, and Miss Emma Braach as Lady
Florence May did some really fine acting
Mr.. Barton Williams and Mr. Morris
were good in their respective parts, and
little Miss Thompson, the child actress,
was captivating.

any objections to laughing yourself sick
